Sony - STR-4800 Solid state stereo receiver

Sony STR-4800 – Vintage stereo receiver amplifier

Very good cosmetic condition
Very good powerful sound

For sale, this Sony STR-4800 is an iconic Hi-Fi amplifier-tuner from the late 1970s. It stands out with its timeless "silver face" design, brushed aluminum front, retro backlit analog dial, and rugged build, typical of Japanese production from that era.

The unit is in very good cosmetic condition, with only a few light signs of use related to its age.

Operation
All main functions are operational (amplification, tuner, controls, illumination, etc.).

However, to note:
the Speaker System 2 output presents some fragility; it works but occasionally falters;
very light crackling noises are perceived when handling some potentiometers or selectors.
A thorough cleaning of the contacts should improve these points.
